Another painted mask

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

I achieved this look by blending several acrylic paints in multiple layers. I also painted the underneath area all black, just to give it a more finished look. Next time I will spray paint it all black (or some neutral color) first, to save time. This first coat also allows the paint to absorb into the leather which makes the additional layers go on smoother.

This is how it looked before I started painting:
